Dissolution by water, especially water acidified by atmospheric carbon dioxide (producing carbonic acid) or soil acids.
Marble is composed primarily of the mineral calcium carbonate, modified to crystalline form by metamorphism of the parent limestone. Therefore karst features can develop in marble just as they can in unaltered limestone.
What else can I help you with?
Which process most likely breaks down marble or limestone statues?
chemical weathering by acid rain.
Is acid rain weathering a marble statue a physical change or a chemical change?
Chemical change
Which statue is likely to be affected most in chemical weathering marble or granite statue?
A marble statue is likely to be affected more by chemical weathering compared to a granite statue. Marble is a softer and more porous rock than granite, making it more susceptible to chemical reactions with acids in the environment, such as acid rain. This can lead to the erosion and disintegration of the marble statue over time.
How does chemical weathering make marble rough?
Okay, I will explain to you that, in the rainfall should had some kind of chemical like alkali, acid, salt, aldehyde, etc. Specially acid will interact with marble which contains calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to make the salt and liberates water vapour. The reason that surface of marble is not uniform as metal, so when the acid penetrates to the marble will make the result with porous coefficient differently. And you can see this very obviously this marbles surface will be rough touch. Of course this is long process not immediately after you fix the marble at the exposed area.
Which statue is likely to be affected the most by chemical weathering?
I suppose that a marble statue is more sensible (excepting wood statues).
Is corrosion of marble is a chemical or physical change?
Corrosion of marble is a chemical change. It occurs when the minerals in the marble undergo a chemical reaction with substances like acids or salts, leading to the deterioration of the marble's structure.
Which process most likely breaks down marble or limestone statues?
chemical weathering by acid rain.
Minerals resistant to chemical weathering?
Quartz is a mineral that is highly resistant to chemical weathering. Marble is a mineral that is more susceptible to chemical weathering.
Is acid rain weathering a marble statue a physical change or a chemical change?
Chemical change
Which weathers faster feldspar or marble?
Marble weathers faster than feldspar because marble is more susceptible to chemical weathering due to its composition of calcium carbonate, which reacts easily with acidic rainwater. In comparison, feldspar is more resistant to weathering due to its hardness and chemical stability.
What are the two rocks that wear away the quickest from chemical weathering?
Limestone and marble.
Which statue is likely to be affected most in chemical weathering marble or granite statue?
A marble statue is likely to be affected more by chemical weathering compared to a granite statue. Marble is a softer and more porous rock than granite, making it more susceptible to chemical reactions with acids in the environment, such as acid rain. This can lead to the erosion and disintegration of the marble statue over time.
What roles does acid precipitation play in the weathering process?
it speeds up the weathering process.
Why do you pick the answer chemical weathering when the question is acid rains reacts with calcite and marble?
Becuase its wearing down the calcite and marble as it runs across it
How is chemical weathering effect marble and limestone?
Chemical weathering can dissolve the calcite in marble and limestone over time, especially in the presence of acidic rain or groundwater. This can cause the rocks to deteriorate, forming cracks and pits on their surface. The dissolution of calcite can also weaken the structure of the rocks, leading to physical weathering processes like erosion.

What minerals would be least immune to chemical weathering limestone quartz marble and granite?
The answer is marble because it is like glass and if there were a piece on the ground it could be easily broken but if there were a tornado the tornado couldnt break it. Marble is very fragile.
